The Switch and the Playstation and Xbox consoles are not in direct competition. PS and Xbox having shortages doesn't lead to higher Switch sales by 3-5mil.
Regardless of that, the Switch also has production shortages. If the other two didn't have them, the Switch wouldn't either and all three consoles would sell more.
Without shortages I'm confident that both the Switch and PS5 would be able to sell 23-25mil units this year without impacting each other in any significant way.
But that's not the case. They have shortages. Therefore the Switch is not going to sell much more than 21mil and the PS5, having even bigger shortages, won't come close to 20mil.
